  Be horrible if a kernel died due to a program's assert and 
throws wouldn't it? Since all programs are effectively threads or 
separate processes. Since a thread is just a branch of the main 
program, it can only go up the stack as much as it's stack is 
present (or that's how I see it working).

  I haven't done thread programming yet, but sometimes when using 
VisualD when it breaks due to an assert it wouldn't give any 
detailed information. In those cases I used a try/catch...


void threadedFunction(){
   //global try/catch
   try {
     //your function code
   } catch(Throwable o) {
     writeln(o);
     //still dies afterwards
   }
}
